Description

Directional switching method and system
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communication cell handover, and in particular, to a directional handover method and system.
Background
In the initial stage of network establishment of the 5G network, a Non-independent (NSA) networking scheme is adopted, and specifically, the Non-independent networking refers to that a control plane (4G carries control signaling) is independently deployed by 4G, a user plane (5G and 4G carry user plane data) is commonly deployed by 5G and 4G, or a user plane is independently deployed by 5G (only 5G carries user plane data). However, in practice, not all LTE (Long Term Evolution) cells are NSA cells, and when an NSA terminal accesses a non-NSA LTE cell, the NSA terminal has only LTE one-sided user experience, and cannot embody the advantages of the 5G network, so that a policy for implementing directional handover exists in the non-NSA LTE cell, so that the NSA terminal can be handed over from the non-NSA LTE cell to the NSA LTE cell when the terminal is located in both a non-NSA LTE cell coverage range and an NASLTE cell, and thus, the NSA terminal can enjoy the large-capacity user experience brought by 5G. The current realization technology is as follows: when an NSA terminal accesses to an LTE cell which is not NSA, the NSA terminal is firstly switched to the LTE cell supporting NSA through the measurement of an A3 event, then, in the LTE cell supporting NSA, a secondary station 5G base station gNB is added through the measurement of a B1 event, and the NSA terminal finally experiences the capacity of two sides of LTE and NR (New radio). However, when the terminal accesses from the non-NSA LTE, the measurement is performed once, the handover in the LTE system is performed, the measurement of the different systems is performed again, and the secondary station is added, so that the measurement one by one is relatively long, and the time for the user to perceive badly is relatively long.

All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, "of", "corresponding" and "corresponding" may be sometimes used in combination, and it should be noted that, when the difference is not emphasized, the intended meaning is consistent.
For the convenience of clearly describing the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, in the embodiments of the present invention, the words "first", "second", and the like are used for distinguishing the same items or similar items with basically the same functions and actions, and those skilled in the art can understand that the words "first", "second", and the like are not limited in number or execution order.
In 4G network, coverage areas of adjacent cells are overlapped, such as a cell a and a cell B in fig. 2, so that a terminal can initially access from the cell a or the cell B, in an initial stage of 5G network establishment, an option3X architecture (fig. 1) of NSA is adopted, an option3X architecture is adopted, that is, no signaling plane exists at an NR side, no independent work is available, and the terminal needs to work by means of LTE, LTE is an anchor point of signaling, NR is an anchor point of a user plane (in fig. 1, a dotted line is user plane connection, and a solid line is control plane connection), and NR signaling is completed through an X2 port by means of LTE assistance. The current planning is that LTE cells and NR cells under the option3x architecture are covered by the same cell, such as LTE cell B and NR cell C in fig. 2, so that the current network has the coexistence of the cells in fig. 2: cell a of LTE is not upgraded to a version supporting NSA, only LTE is supported, and LTE is a non-NSA LTE cell, whereas cell B of LTE is upgraded to a version supporting NSA, and supports NSA architecture, cell B is an NSA LTE cell, and meanwhile, cell C of NR and LTE cell B are co-covered.
In the prior art, in order to enable a terminal supporting NAS networking, that is, an NAS terminal, to fully enjoy the advantages of a 5G signal, when the NAS terminal is powered on to access, if the terminal is first accessed to a cell a, the cell a does not support an NSA architecture, so that even if the terminal supports NSA, the terminal at this time can only operate on LTE and cannot exert the advantages of the NSA terminal, and is connected to a 5G NR cell, therefore, a base station device of LTE is required to implement a strategy of directional handover, the base station of the cell a determines whether the accessed terminal is an NSA terminal according to UE capability reported by the terminal, if so, sends a measurement control message for performing a3 event measurement on an adjacent cell supporting NSA of the cell a to the terminal, after the terminal has measured and reported a measurement report, the base station to which the cell a belongs switches the access of the terminal from the cell a to the cell B, and the base station of the cell B determines that the terminal supports NSA according to the terminal capability uploaded by the terminal, then, a measurement control message for performing B1 event measurement on the adjacent cell of the A cell of the heterogeneous system supporting NAS is sent to the terminal, and when the terminal detects the NR cell C, a secondary station adding flow is triggered to complete the option3x architecture, so that the terminal can enjoy the capacities of the 4G side and the 5G side at the same time, and good user perception is obtained.
However, the original scheme has the following defects:
1. the measurement of the event A3 and the measurement of the event B1 are one after another, if the measurement report of the event A3 is uploaded, the terminal is switched from the LTE cell A which does not support NAS to the cell B which supports NASSTE, and then the measurement of the event B1 does not find the NR cell C which supports NAS and meets the requirement, namely the NR cell C which is the same as the LTE cell B in coverage does not exist or exists but cannot be connected with the LTE cell B, at this time, the event A is not added to the 5G auxiliary station, the architecture construction of the option3x cannot be completed, and the terminal cannot enjoy the large-capacity service of the 5G air interface; and because this switching process is added, the waste of signaling resources and the switching of data services are caused.
2. Because the measurement control message of the A3 event and the measurement control message of the B1 event are serial, the total time consumed for the terminal to access to the terminal under the option3x architecture is the measurement delay of A3 + the handover delay in the LTE system + the measurement delay of B1 + the added delay of the secondary station, which is long, and the user perception is poor.
In order to solve the above problem, referring to fig. 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a directional handover method, applied to a first base station, including:

302. And judging whether the terminal supports NAS networking or not according to the capability information of the terminal.
If the terminal supports NAS networking, 303 is executed; and if the terminal does not support NAS networking, ending the switching process.

the second communication system at least has the transmission rate and the communication bandwidth higher than the first communication system, and the transmission delay of the second communication system is lower than the first communication system; in practice, directional handover of a cell is generally applied to an LTE network and a 5G network, so that the second communication system refers to 5G, and the first communication system refers to LTE or 4G;

In practice, the measurement events of the LTE system are mainly intra-system measurement events (a1, a2, A3, a4, and a5) and inter-system measurement events (B1 and B2):
event A1: indicating that the serving cell signal quality is above a certain threshold; the service cell refers to the cell to which the terminal is currently accessed
Event A2: indicating that the serving cell signal quality is below a certain threshold;
event A3: the quality of the adjacent cell is higher than that of the service cell, and the method is used for the same-frequency and different-frequency switching based on coverage;
event A4: the quality of the adjacent region is higher than a certain threshold, and the adjacent region is used for switching based on load and can be used for load balancing;
event A5: the quality of the service cell is lower than a certain threshold and the quality of the adjacent cell is higher than a certain threshold, and the method can be used for load balancing; inter-system measurement events:
b1 event: the quality of the adjacent cell is higher than a certain threshold, and the adjacent cell is used for measuring the inter-system cell with high priority;
b2 event: the quality of the service cell is lower than a certain threshold, and the quality of the adjacent cell is higher than a certain threshold, and the method is used for measuring the different system cells with the same or lower priority.
305.
